LSU coach Ed Orgeron is looking for a starting quarterback. He haskept open the option of allowing the competition to carry into theseason.

Ohio State graduate transfer Joe Burrow will compete with juniorJustin McMillan, sophomore Myles Brennan and redshirt freshmanLowell Narcisse for the starting job. Burrow has two years ofeligibility remaining.

Orgeron said Monday at the SEC's annual media gathering that hehopes there is a decisive winner in the QB competition before theTigers' season opener Sept. 2 against Miami.

''We don't want to do this but we could play two quarterbacks if wedon't see a clear-cut starter,'' Orgeron said of the opening game.''I want this to be a clear-cut decision. I want our team to see itand I want our coaches to see it in camp.''

It will be an especially important preseason practice with newoffensive coordinator Steve Ensminger installing a spread attack.

''I have complete confidence in the way he's going to lead thisoffense,'' Orgeron said.
